England, Victoria, was explaining why he spoke without notes or prepared manuscript, say. Ing that HE prelcrred to hear someone speak lreely (ruin the heart rather from, a prepared text "tor his particular glory and no one else's good." Same man, saying that Com munism or any form of totalitari anism (note Peron In Argentina) must first destroy the meaning of words, through a controlled press, even bc.oie attacking the church: "Democracy lives on words." Ditto, on newspaper principles of being objective on the news pages and subjective on the editorial pages: "Editorials should attack and exhort; never be neutral. The editorial should be the watchdog of the front page." Likewise, on politics, saying that our two party system is much bet ter than British Columbia's many parties and groups, he labeled the BC Social Credit Party as "neither eociul nor- ereditabie." On one of our fringe party ' elements: "Mc ' Carthyism is the sort of thing that sticks labels on people.'1 Senator Joseph McCarthy was In the process of label-sticking with James Wechsler, editor of the New York Post, who belonged to the Youne Communist Leapje as a college boy (and then saw the light JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON MV-It was a nice fight while it lasted. .' Rio. Daniel Allen Reed, New York Republican, had his heart set on cutting taxes in 1953. He seemed so truly angry Monday, when he heard President Eisenhower wants no tax cuts this year, that he said: "When I fight, I fight." Yesterday, one day later, he yielded ground to the Elsenhower lorces. And before many weeks aitj over the 77-yewr-uid Reed, v.'iih 35 years in the House, may find himself boxed in ana beaten. He's ' boxed in a little now. . Reed, oldest Republican in the House in continuous service, is chairman of one of the most pow erful committees in Congress, the House Ways and Means Commit tee, which handles tax problems and writes bills to boost or cut taxes. When expenses began piling up after the outbreak of the Korean War in mid-1950 Congress slapped an excess profits tax on corpora lions and upped individual income taxes about n per cent. The excess profits tax was scheduled to die automatically next June 30 and the Individual tax boost was due to end the same way Dec. 31, an arrangement giv ing some corporations a tax reduc tion six months before individuals got one. Reed decided to move lip the reduction for Individuals six month and let them Ret a tax cut the tame day as corporations, June 30. Ills like-minded committee voted overwhelmingly for such action. The committee members were perhaps not unmindful that . all House members must face the voters again in 1954 and that glv ing individuals a break on the same day corporations got it might not be harmful on election day. Reed didn't pitch his desire for a tax cut on that plane. He said his Republicnii party had promised to reduce taxes in 1953 and that if this weren't done the people would have been "sold down the river.'' The vote In Reed's committee made up of 15 Republicans and 10 Democrats was 21 to 4. Twelve Republicans and nine Democrats were 'or cutting Individual taxes THE DOCTOR SAYS - By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D. An extremely Interesting lotter comes from Mr. G., who writes: "Recently, when a case of un dulant fever was detected in our household, we tried to determine If our cow, whose milk we drank raw, could be the source of the infection. She had passed the stan dard county veterinarian's test for Bangs disease less than a year be fore, and had not been in contact with other cattle since. "We were disconcerted, how ever, to find that our physician does not consider the standard test for Bangs' disease in cattle as sat isfactory. Can you throw any light on this? Is there any general agreement on when (it even It is safe to use raw cow's milk?" It is said that about five out of 100 of our cattlo arc infecied with Bangs' disease. The blood test, which I presumo is the standard test referred to in the Inquiry, is of great value in Idcmilyvng in fected cattle and hogs. Neverthe less, it cannot be relied on absolute ly. One report at hand says: "Attempts to control Bucellosis Jn cattle and hogs by the blood ag Rlutlnation test have been only fair ly successful. The chief difficulty . .has been that highly infectious animals In the Incubating stage the disease ere sometimes left in the herds. , ."

McCarthy: "And you are opposed to Bill Jcnner, too. You think he is a dangerous man." Wechsler: "Senator. I give you a priority in this field." As an aside, from the direct quoics. let's dig up an axiom here: Always beware of the do-gooder and of the person who finds that everyone else is a crook. I While we are 100 per cent in accord with the 100 per cent Americanism that McCarthy espouses, still. . .well. . . uinli.nl. . .you take it from there.) NOW SOME QUOTES on that dcar-to-our-heart matter of adver tising: Reg Dagg, of the Canadian ad vertising agency, Stewart-Bowman, MacPherson Ltd.: "Only the man who sells tombstones has a per manent customer." Clyde Bedell, advertising consult ant, In his book, "Your Advertis ing. Force or Farce?": "There are only three forces on earth that may be used to sell things: Goods display salesmanship and adver tising." Lou Batchelor, of the Spokane newpapers, on making use of the information that has been dug out through research: "It s not so much what you do as what you do about what you do." Clyde Bedell again, on how long to make copy: "Say what you have to say and then shut up." That's it. June 30 instead of waiting till Dec. 31. One Democrat and three Repub licans opposed this. Their action was taken Feb. 16, with the Eisenhower administra tion In office less than one month, and in spite of the President's re quest to go, slow on whittling taxes until he had a chance to balance the budget first. Plenty of Democrats and Repub licans felt as Reed did, for various recsens no doubt. But the Repub lican leadership in the House be gan to give Reed a bad time. His taX:CUttlng bill was sent to the rules committee, which clears bills to the House floor. The rules com mittee hasn't acted. Reed fussed and fumed. Then Eisenhower set him back on his heels Tuesday night by saying he wanted no tax cuts this session. The President asked Congress to vote to keep the excess profits tax until Dec. 31, when it could expire at the same time as the boost in individual income taxes. The President said this was nec essary for a sound economy, but it also looked pretty sound from the viewpoint of political strategy. Individuals will be less apt to be mad at having to wait for their tax reduction until the scheduled date, Dec. 31 so long as many corporations also have to wait un til then lor a cut In their taxes. A congressman who reasoned that way wouldn't have much trou ble switching from support of Reed to opposition to Reed. And Reed himself promptly faced a new problem : If Congress was to consider and act on Eisenhower's request to ex tend the excess profits tax. Reed's committee should first hold hear ings to let corporations and all other interested parties state their views. If Reed refused to do this, he could be accused of discourteous dcllancc of the President. It might lose hhn support in the House. He agreed to hold the hearings, be ginning June 1. And one day after Eisenhower spoke, some of Reed's own com mittee, who wanted taxes cut, bc san to weaken. Reed's fight mav not be over. But he's already lost a lot of momentum. human beings. It Is estimated for example, that there are about 1,300. 000 dairy cattle and 800.000 beef cows involved.

In his highly important relations with Congress, he believes the lawmak ers should be left alone to perform their task. "We propose, and af ter that It's up to them," Is the way he puts It. That is how Mr. Eisenhower reads the U.S. Constitution. He does not fear to exert leadership, as anyone can see who studies the record of his behavior. He simply believes that ordering Congress to pass specific legislation is none of his business. The President's interpretation of his responsibilities is not, however, the only possible one. A good many chief executives have believed that it was their duty to take a strong hand with Congress. These Include Lincoln, Cleveland, Theodore Roo sevelt, Wilson and Franklin D. Kooseveu. The idea behind their view Is this: The Presiacni is the only rep resentative in the government of the entire American people, since they elect him. By the nature of his office and the manner of his election, he is ideally suited to stand lor the national interest, above the broad array of compet ing local and regional pressures. Conversely, the representatives and senators who maxe up con gress usually reflect narrower in terests. Sometimes they are verit able symbols of particular- view points. In any event, they are al ways subject to tremendous pres sures from their district or state or region. Left to themselves, these men Inevitably bailie among their lei lows to achieve the goals sought by the people back home. Con gress falls into factions. The re sult can be stalemate, or after bitter warfare, the triumph of poli cies not desired by all the people. Some observers are saying today that strong presidential leadership on Capitol Hill Is a necessity for these difficult times, that there can be no effective party program un less the President tries to enforce his legislative demands. They ar gue that many lawmakers would welcome a show of strength on this score, since it would give them ex cuse to resist local pressures. Mr. Eisenhower, possessing pow er and prestige such as few presi dents have enjoyed, chooses not to use them as he might. It is a fas cinating experiment in restraint. Some would say it Is also a dan gerous experiment. The test will be whether the national interest or the local interest triumphs in the years ahead.

But tho most widespread and dangerous disease today is prob ably "wonder drug addiction" of one kind or another. Everybody yearns for a new miracle panacea in every field ol human activity health, agricul ture, economics, politics, and mat rimony. The Ideal cure-all is a maeic capsule that would cure the baby's mumps, balance the national bud get, end wars, hike wages, lower prices, make a profit for Industry, raise bumper farm crops, cause papa to come home at nights, eradicate women's wrinkles, dis solve grandma's melancholy, whis per the name of the winning horse before every race. Naturally, nobody with common Along Nature's Trail By Ken McLeod As one studies the operation of the "hydrologic cycle" the fact that stands out so clearly is the slim chance the water in a rain drop, as it leaves the ocean, has of replenishing our diminishing ground water supply. This is the heart of the industrial and agricul tural water supply problem. It is the heart of the relation of ihe watershed to water supply. Ground water is the water supply nearest to most farmsteads, and even city lots and Industrial sites. The ground water problem be gins when and where the raindrop hits the soil. If the soil structure is right, an amazing amount of water will get into the ground, a fact, everyone discovers when he uses two or three buckets of water in watering a rose bush. Most of our arguments regain ing water management today hinge tnis suDject or ground waier storage. To get the most out of water resources management you must start with the small water shed. It is here that the over-all problem breakds down into Its con stituent parts. It is hero that man agement, because of the interrelat ed interests of the people in me area, Is attorded tne greatest op portunity. The people in the water shed have the first proprietary right in the water. Their livelihood depends upon this water. And the abundance of their livelihood de pends upon the way they husband their water resources. We might for a moment look at th rather controversial subject of lorest-strcamflow relations and soil streamflow relations. This Is not the domain of the forester and soil technician alone. The geologist and hydraulic engineer are equally in dispensable because they are tech nically equipped to deal with the vast water-bearing formations tnat lie between the land surface and the so called "basement rock" of the earth's crust. The trouble with the engineer has been, is that he has failed to apply his hydrodynamlc principles ' to water flow in the subsoil. Here, i he must know hydraulic gradients, slopes, transmissabllity, cross sec tion area, specific yield and by experimentation establish the nec essary working "co-efficients" just as he has done with stream How on the surface of the land. The engineer, however, inclines to the principle of control by force stop with dams, confine In pipes and canals, treat with chemicals to purify. Like a doctor he applies cures to the patient who is til. The application of preventive measures to develop health habits like the dieticians, the Public Health Serv ices and like professions is not practiced to keep the patient from becoming ill in the first place. Tills latter technique, is some thing the engineering world has overlooked, or, at least it given some grudging recognition Is usually fol lowed by the usual "But." To' say the least, the engineer should be willing1 to be shown. He should have an open mind toward expert mental,data. Water storage In the soil Is a fact. How much or how little, the engineer may question. However, as In his own profes sion, he must acknowledge that man can facilitate control and stor age of rainfall in the soil, or bring immediate runoff and rapid filling of stream-channel storage capa city. The science of hydrology as ap plied to this small arc, or area, of the hydrologic cycle the Water In the soil is still relatively un developed. Land use as a factor In water management is a new subject even to technicians in for estry and agriculture. Experiment al data on which the engineer is accustomed to rely is lacking. Only recently have the engineers turned tneir attention tn earnest to ground water conditions. By Jimmy Hatlo BOYLE sense and a knowledge of human cussedness, expects or believes such a capsule will be Invented. But If a fellow even claimed he had, all he'd need to do would be to lift his voice and he'd find plenty of customers. Faith is powerful, but the too prevalant trust In wonder drugs and magic pills is not faith, but blind and dangenous superstition. Today's wonder drug is tomorrow's disappointment, because people ex pect too much of it. Opium used to be a wonder drug. So did aspirin. Alcohol was per haps man's first wonder drug. But people still have pains, headaches and hangovers. Remember when vitamin "B" was supposed to wipe out gray hair? Did it? Remember when DDT was supposed to rid us of summer insects? Well, a science Idler tells me they now have a strain of tough mosquitoes so de pendent on DDT they die if the stuff is taken away. Doctors know there is no true magic pill for Mother Nature's children, no capsule that will take the place of proper food, sleep and rest except for emergency peri ods. It Is the public, who abuse wonder drugs. The dental profession right now is actively promoting a wonder in strument for keeping teeth clean. It is called a toothbrush, and has been known for some years. Warning that dental health is being5 Imperilled by the . public's belief that dentrifices will do more than they actually will, Dr. Wil- tt, aih tructep nr . rne American Dental Association, said recently: - "There is still no. green .wonder or white miracle - toothpaste or powder that will magically prevent dental decay and eradicate disease of the gums. No such dentrlfice will do anything that a sutiable toothbrush properly used won't ac complish alone." Every new wonder drug, when properly tested, takes its place in the endless checkerboard battle against disease. But there is still no "fountain of youth" beyond proper living, and no drug will ever be more than an accessory to It in keeping healthy. The fact of history is: All panaceas Medical, econ omic, or political when blindly taken by a person or a civilization are more likely to kill than to cure. A basic ingredient in every med icine is common sense.

YOURS NOW FOR ONLY 10.95 & 12.95 T-H Changes Agreed On By Soions WASHINGTON ID Republican members of the Senate Labor Committee were said today to have agreed on Taft-Hartley law amend ments which would all but grant the closed shop to the building trades unions. - The amendments, now being put into a formal committee draft for public distribution next week, were described by senators who declined to be quoted by name. 1 The changes in the law. some of them Dromised by President Elseiv hower in campaign speeches last fall, were agreed to in a meeting of the Republican members of the committee. Committee Chairman H. Alex. ander Smith (R-NJi is expected to announce them next Monday, mat Ing clear that no Republican mem ber of the committee considers himself bound to the recommenda tions. Changes, possibly substan tial, can be expected before the full committee agrees on a com prehensive bill to amend the law, The changes reportedly agreed upon Include: 1. Unions whose members cus tomarily work in "casual employ ment." such as construction work, would be allowed to write work contracts with an employer before work actually starts. And workers on the project would have to join the union seven days after work started. For all other employment, the present union shop provision would remain that is, a v;orker cannot be compelled to join the union until 30 days after he takes his Job. The full closed shop, now canned, compels workers to join the union before they go on the job, 2. Most public utilities and hun dreds of small businesses would be exempt from all Taft-Hartley cov erage. This would be done by changing the present law's defin ition of businesses covered by the federal law. No business would be specifically named. The present definition would be changed so that, in the case of utilities, any concern engaged In the selling of gas, heat, light and water would be exempt so long as 7S per cent of its business was done within a state, and not between different states. 3. Building service employes would be exempt. These include janitors, elevator operators and the like. 4. Two members would be added to the five-man National Labor Relations Board. This would give President Eisenhower a chance to appoint four new members within the next few months. Board Chair man Paul M. Herzog has resigned effective June 30 and board mem ber John M. Houstin's term expires this summer. 5. Workers out on a legal strike would be permitted to vote in NT.RR election cases, even if re placed by other workers. Eisen hower has said the present law might be used to "bust unions" and his remark was widely Inter preted as a reference to the present ban on voting by legal strikers.

They charge it penalizes the wrong fellow and hurts the general economy by encouraging waste and extravagance. The arguments for and against the tax which you are certain to hear in the next few weeks run like this: If the tax is continued, as the President recommended, for six more months beyond Its scheduled death date of June 30, the V. S. Treasury stands to get better than one billion dollars iore from bus lness and the treasury needs the money, which must come from somewhere. Those favoring extending the tax will argue that It is laid' on "big business," on "profiteering" and on those most able to pay because their earnings are "excessive." If they weren't making so much they wouldn't be subject to the tax, in the first place. That is the idea on which the tax was fashioned. This is how it works: The reg ular corporation Income tax of 52 per cent is levied on the earnings of all corporations. That is all the majority pay. But some 50,000 firms come un der the excess profits tax. They may pay as much as 68 per cent of all their earnings into the Treas- j ury. Those affected are companies whose present earnings exceed 85 per cent of their average earn ings in their three best years dur ing the four pear period of 1946 1949, inclusive. Opponents ' of EPT which In clude most businessmen whether they pay the tax or not contend that the tax doesn't hurt big busi ness as much as it does the small growing one. The fact that a corporation Is making more money now than It happened to be making in 1946-49 doesn't mean It is proliteering. Some industries were going through their own private slumps during that period, and are doing well again now. EPT hits them hard. Others were just starting out after the war, making no money at all, or very little. Now they are prospering, and EPT swats them hard. Companies who were doing very well in 1946-49 are likely not to be touched by EPT unless they are trying to grow and do better. Then they are hit. Opponents of EPT charge that Ihe tax puts a penalty on growth, on efficient management, on wise investment.
